Xuanwu War Sovereign

BOOM!

From within the endless fiery aura, a Demon Fiend made of magma charged out.

A scorching presence tore at the air, distorting it.

The peak of the Sea of Reincarnation Realm!

Several types of powerful Top-Spirit Fire erupted from the magma Demon Fiend’s body, making Qin Feng’s eyes light up.

’Damn human...’

"Void Freeze!"

Qin Feng’s gaze swept over, and a vast Void Power descended, freezing the magma monster just as it opened its mouth to roar.

It stared in utter terror at the black-robed youth who had barged in!

’This is truly a treasure trove for cultivating Fire Power!’

With a thought, a mass of gray Flame enveloped the lava monster.

Five breaths later, the lava monster, which had reached the peak of the Sea of Reincarnation Realm, had its spirit scattered and its bones melted away.

SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

A fiery red Essence, the size of a pigeon’s egg and full of energy, shot through the air.

Within the Essence, a miniature version of the lava Demon Fiend was filled with fear. At a glance from Qin Feng, the fiery red, spherical Essence abruptly froze in place.

The Chaos Fire Tribulation transformed into a Fire Dragon, roared, and charged forward, devouring the fiery red, spherical Essence in one gulp.

CRACK!

Qin Feng heard a faint sound by his ear. Along with this sound, the seed of his second Spirit Fire, the Sun True Flame Seed, melted.

The gray Flame of the transformed Chaos Fire Tribulation grew even brighter.

The moment the lava Demon Fiend died, a faint blue, humid passageway appeared, and Qin Feng stepped inside.

BOOM!

A powerful, frenzied Alien Race expert, sea-blue all over with the head of a fish and the body of a man, burst forth from the watery light.

This Alien Race expert was clearly stronger than the lava Demon Fiend from the second gate.

A flash of sword light swept across the fish-headed Alien Race member.

PFFT! Its mangled corpse fell to the ground.

With a flash of light, Qin Feng entered the fourth gate.

This was a desert. BOOM! A raging sandnado blotted out the sun. A tall swordsman with a crazed gaze, cradling one arm, and with skin like bronze appeared in Qin Feng’s sight.

BOOM!

He leaped into the air and crashed down on the ground, making the earth shake and the mountains sway!

Early-Nirvana Realm. This was a Martial Arts Giant!

"Star Sect disciple! Kill without mercy!"

A feral roar echoed as a frenzied killing intent shot toward the heavens. The light of his blade flared, a vast expanse of white like a waterfall from the Nine Heavens sweeping toward Qin Feng!

’He’s strong. That slash is enough to kill an ordinary Mid-Nirvana Stage Martial Artist. A pity it’s useless against me!’

His gaze focused, and the figure, sharp as an unparalleled blade, froze abruptly in the Void.

A trace of terror flashed across the swordsman’s face. The next moment, a fireball shot out from Qin Feng, slammed into the swordsman, and turned him to ash in the blink of an eye.

With a flicker, Qin Feng appeared in the fifth gate.

He had just landed when a huge fist tore through the air, appearing suddenly with a whistling sound like a comet. But the next instant, the fist’s speed slowed, and then it froze solid.

A bald, vicious-looking brute stared at Qin Feng in astonishment.

He couldn’t hide a trace of panic!

Qin Feng turned his head, a cold smile touching his lips. ’An ambush!’

BANG!

A flash of fire, and the bald brute was instantly reduced to a pile of volcanic ash!

「On the Void Continent.」

Lianmo True Monarch, Ji Qingxuan, Lei Li, Jiang Beichou, and Shi Xuan stood in the Void, silently observing the performance of each young expert.

Their gazes pierced through the Demon Refining Ancient Tower. Countless vicious and powerful experts appeared before them, the scenes within the nine Spaces revealed in minute detail!

Within the Demon Refining Tower, the performance of every young expert was laid bare before the five observers.

The five swept their gazes across the Void, focusing primarily on two youths.

One was a handsome youth in cyan robes. Wielding a Cyan Blade Sword, he relied on an incredibly fast Movement Technique, fighting like a cyan tornado against a black Zheng Ning Demon Dragon.

That black Zheng Ning Demon Dragon’s scales and claws were incredibly sharp, radiating a peerless edge.

In another world filled with fiery red magma, a sharp phoenix cry that pierced the clouds rang out. A young man in yellow robes, with the mien of a King, appeared silently. He slashed with a heavy sword light, and Purple Qi soared into the air, faintly revealing the image of a Saint King ruling with ease, like a Celestial Emperor.

This was not the aura of a Saint, but the Emperor’s Qi. This was an expert with the potential of an Ancient Heavenly Son.

In yet another Space, countless Resentful Spirits roared as a furious, skeletal fiend battled a young, stone-faced Swordsman who wielded a Golden Battle Sword.

When the young Swordsman slashed with his sword light, the Void and the Firmament shattered. Countless Fierce Souls shrieked in terror as they were sliced into pieces, vanishing like smoke!

Suddenly, the Purple Thunder Heavenly King, Lei Li, said, "A day has passed. The fastest contestant has already cleared the twenty-third gate. The one with the best performance, Chunyu Fengshen, is about to slay the Demon Dragon and enter the twenty-fourth gate! However, his chances of passing the twenty-fifth gate are slim."

Ji Qingxuan nodded slightly. "The Demon Refining Ancient Tower has thirty-six gates, each harder than the last. The difficulty increases by a minor realm every three gates. In previous years, even the strongest challengers mostly stopped at the twenty-fourth gate. After all, the twenty-fifth gate corresponds to a Second Tribulation Supreme Power Level existence. These twelve Half-Step Martial Arts prodigies, despite their outstanding talent, are already at their limit fighting enemies one Tier above them."

Shi Xuan chuckled. "Vice Sect Leader, I actually think that Gongsun Hong might pass the twenty-fifth gate. He bears the Emperor Purple Qi and seems to have cultivated to the Ninth-Third Realm. He’s incredibly formidable. It might not be impossible for him to slay a Supreme Great Power two Tiers above him!"

Jiang Beichou shook his head. "This generation of disciples is extremely strong. It’s not just Gongsun Hong. That Jian Zongyuan is not weak either. He was born with an Innate Sword Bone and has already comprehended a part of the Sword Law. His combat power is immense!"

The Purple Thunder Heavenly King sighed with some emotion. "It seems someone from this generation might actually manage the rare feat of passing the twenty-fifth gate, and perhaps even the twenty-sixth!"

Hearing this, Lianmo True Monarch’s eyes wavered. Since the Demon Refining Ancient Tower was first opened, the number of True Disciples who could pass the twenty-fifth gate could be counted on one hand.

As for those who could break into the twenty-sixth gate, there have only been a meager two or three people since the tower was opened!

Shi Xuan said, "If there are no surprises this time, the True Disciples should be chosen from among the Star Cloud Twelve Sons!"

「The Tenth Gate.」

BOOM!

The endless Leiyun solidified, and a giant Thunder Qilin emitting countless bolts of Thunder froze in the Void.

This was a terrifying Barbaric Beast at the Late-Nirvana Stage!

Qin Feng stood upon the vast, desolate plains. His gaze shifted, and with a flip of his palm, he gripped a Crystal Divine Sword. He slashed down, and a heaven-shaking sword light, powerful enough to rip apart the Firmament, struck the Thunder Qilin like a bolt of lightning.

A heaven-shaking shriek.

In an instant, the sword light stripped all Vitality from this Ancient Demon, which possessed a Thunder Element True Spirit Bloodline.

PFFT!

The falling rain of blood was like a Blood River!

With a loud crash, dust flew everywhere!

By the tenth gate, Qin Feng had gradually figured out the pattern.

It seemed that in this Demon Refining Tower, the Realm increased every three gates.

The first three gates had Guardian Demon Fiends or Alien Races at the peak of the Sea of Reincarnation Realm.

The Guardian Demon Fiends from the fourth to the sixth gate were Early-Nirvana Promotion.

The seventh to the ninth gates had Mid-Nirvana Stage Demon Fiends.

And now, the tenth gate had a powerful Late-Nirvana Stage Demon Fiend.

Glancing at the Thunder Qilin on the ground, Qin Feng’s expression was relaxed.

RUMBLE!

Countless bolts of Thunder intertwined to form a passageway. This was the eleventh gate.
